Hi there, it's been a while since I've posted on here! I wanted to review a product for you! I purchased it at my local Ichiban Kan store and very inexpensive. I've had this product in my hands for a few months looking at it and contemplating its use. I thought maybe that I could use it in case my skin went berserk during the fall and winter season. Well, it did. The change in the weather caused major redness and severe dry patches! I have combination skin which gets oilier in the hot summer months and drier in the fall and winter. My face also gets redder and more sensitive as well.

This product is Naisture Collagen Mask Pack. It is a facial sheet mask that "improves your skin's elasticity and firmness." If you click on the photos, you can see what the mask looks like...since I didn't want to horrify you with a picture of me with it on my face. What the mask feels like is very interesting...it is very moist and heavy with a light powdery scent. I put it on and was taken aback about how Halloween-y I looked. My kids were surprised by it, but I digress!

After using the mask for 15-20 minutes, peeling it off, and smoothing in the leftover solution onto my face and neck, I was amazed at how baby-soft, smooth, and firm my skin was. Yay!

Sorry, this is a long post! My thoughts about each app are in italics!

I found the cutest FREE or LITE iPhone apps! Some useful, some playful...and some I just like because they are really cute! You can download them either from the iTunes store or the App Store on your iPhone. Some functionality of a few of these apps maybe limited, so if you want more, you just have to buy it or live with it. I copied and pasted the functions from the iTunes store. Of course, these are not NEW, but I'm late to the iPhone game.

[myDog Note - App Additional Details]
- Use the "Multi-delete" with checking.
- Ability to set a password for privacy protection
- Use our custom themes to have just the style you like
- Includes an easy to use "Help" database

So cute doggies, I love the functionality of this! It BARKS, but you can turn it off! There is more though if you purchase the pro version and they also have a Bear Calendar called myGom for pay.

I haven't blogged in a while, because I have been involved in a lot, and I mean a lot of school activities...and catching up with chores. Along with my littlest graduating from Kindergarten and now my oldest child going to Third, I am on a constant look out for things to do! Even though school is over, our children are constantly learning from US! Most parents will put their child in Summer camp, activities, travel, and go out on day trips or vacations. Summers are fun, but sometimes you have to incorporate learning too. To keep minds sharp over the break, I like to do worksheets along with fun activities!

If anyone is still viewing this blog, I apologize for the lack of content lately. I haven't blogged in a while. Life has been intensely busy for me since I last posted. I went into surgery after the last post, had been recovering afterwards, my kids started school in late August and have been commuting back and forth, been volunteering at their school, and wow....I have a lot of catching up.

Anyways, I love the craft and cute content so far in this blog. I think I will expand the material for things like reviews on personal products, like makeup and skincare. It has always been an interest of mine and possibly may add a bit more personality to this blog.
